Many of my readers are gluten-full π eaters/drinkers, but I also have gluten-free readers and I know many of you have friends and family that don’t eat gluten. For those that gave gluten up later in life, you may still struggle with giving up beer π At least, that would be the hardest thing for me to let go!
Of course, there is always wine and liquor that can still be enjoyed but there is something about a nice cold beer on a hot day that cannot be replaced π
Lots of bars now have cider beers and so there is somewhat of an alternative but cider is not beer. Most ciders taste too sweet to me though I have had some good ones, like GrassHOP-AH by the Colorado Cider Company, but there is still a big difference.
New Planet and Estrella Damm Daura are two gluten-free beers that are pretty tasty but a while back my parents discovered Omission Beer. It actually tastes like beer!
Omission has figured out a way to brew beer with all the normal ingredients (yeast, malt, and hops) but then they use a proprietary process to remove the gluten. Samples from each batch of beer are sent out to a labratory for testing. Beer is not shipped out until tests are returned and their beer is always well below the 20 ppm, which is the international standard for gluten free.
Omission currently brews a lager and a pale ale. The lager is light and refreshing while the pale ale has more hops. Of course, since I am a hophead, I am partial to the pale ale but both are great choices to satisfy that beer craving. Check out Omission to learn more and to see if it is at a location near you.

What a cool label!
Ha ha I agree! It is very clever π
Great Post! I just had a nightmare reading your post – love beer and love chocolate – hope to never have issues with these 2 foods. Happy Monday:)
Ha ha I didn’t mean to scare you! Lol I would be sad if I couldn’t have beer or chocolate! Thanks Renee!
I was listening to a nutritionist on talk back radio yesterday trying to help a beer lover who needed advice on gluten-free beer. Such a coincidence.
Ha ha nice! Well I am a beer girl and can say I actually enjoyed the omission beers! π
Now thats a revelation, my gluten free friends always feel left out. This is great.
Do tell them! It is very interesting how beer plays a role in our society..it really does= connect people and I understand how someone could feel left out if they don’t drink beer.
I need to find this and see if it can be used to make a good whole grain mustard. Thanks!
Yes, and please do tell me how it turns out! I think it would provide different flavors than a dark beer but the lager might add a nice touch.
I really respect all those people wkn are not able to enjoy a classic beer…but all I can say is: “cheers!” π
Ya, I agree! Cheers!
Don’t laugh but here’s a stupid question: does beer really contributes to beer belly? I love drinking beer but have cut down since…:-)
our question made me smile. Beer has calories so just like food, it should be consumed moderately π I am no doctor but I think people can definitely hold a beer gut, whether it is technically just from the beer, I am not sure. Some people say they work out to drink beer π
well it doesn’t seem to have any effect on you π
and that’s a compliment π
Thank you! π
Looks designer too!! Is it expensive?
It actually isn’t bad! At my local liquor store (which definitely can have lower prices than others) it is $8.50.
Wow, that isn’t bad π
Thank you!
Anytime! π
I tried Dogfish Tweason’ale the other day. The I’m not sure about it, the strawberry was not all there and there was weird aftertaste of fiber. The search goes on…
